That’s a Band File, been asking for Milwaukee to come out with a cordless version for a long time, have had a corded one for years. Great tool for Metal work, provides access to hard to reach areas. Need a quality Abrasive Band with suitable grit and a ballsy tool to drive it for best results. Maybe this will will give incentive for Big Red to come out with a dedicated tool. Nice job there, Crazy Mike.
I did the same thing about two months ago to mine vince. I love it, now I'm waiting for a deal on the cut off so I don't have to switch back to my cut off.
Cool idea. Body guys use this tool (air version) for grinding spot welds when panel removal is required. Pricey conversion though. God bless, stay well and blessed Christmas.
I did the conversion too and don’t regret spending the money. I use my finger sander for automotive repair. My air hoses lay on the ground and get covered in dirt and oil, so dragging them through a clean car cabin to use an air tool is asking for trouble. It’s a kick in the teeth to buy a $100 tool and spend another $130 to build it right. I took my modified Milwaukee tool to tool fair and showed them what’s up. All three “reps” were pissed because everyone around me watching the show said I wanna preorder one of those. I also sat down with a franchise owner for local tool trucks, and asked if they would help push the build. The response from Milwaukee American was a load of crap. To paraphrase what they said, “our consumer development team does not see a high enough demand to warrant building this tool”. I replayed “you should trade in that college degree for a gold star because you just threw your money away. I didn’t say build this tool. I said build this kit and sell the tool as a multi tool with different attachments! Cabinet makers and tile layers would kill for this mod.” No reply
I bought the cut off tool hoping to do this mod for coping crown mouldings. But just bought the m12 angle die grinder instead and it’s WAY easier for coping with the 2” discs.
This is actually an amazing conversion for those already invested in the Milwaukee tool line. For those DIYers looking for a similar option that are Ryobi users, check out - The Ryobi One cordless power file (tool only). While heavier and less ergonomic, it does perform well and comes in at around $75-130 depending where you can find it. Tool# PSD101B it can be hard to find.
@vcg construction Vince i put a 3 inch dremel wood and plastic blade on it as and use it in electrical to zip fern stripes at top of block walls where skill saw won't fit because of 2×4 capping or pitch
Thanks to you I have a Christmas tool present, which I normally would not be able to buy. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas from me and all your followers...
I’d have one of those belt sanders in order so fast it would make your head spin. I work as an institutional locksmith and we use similar corded models to open up strikes a tad to allow the door to latch while waiting on proper frame repair. Being able to skip looking for an outlet would make this an instant buy.
@@Nucking-Futz I may eventually. I am hoping Milwaukee comes out with one as I’d rather not have yet another brand of batteries and chargers to keep track of. We already have both Dewalt and Milwaukee in our shop.
Hell yea....I actually have the 3/8"x13 version that I ordered on eBay from mike, awesome conversion....use it very regularly in the collision industry to remove factory welds to.replace welded on panels and prep/grind down welds before paint etc. I'm blown away that milwaukee hasn't released their own version or offered to license it from mike. Shoot, even ingersoll rand offers a cordless belt sander along with a few other tools milwaukee needs to get on board with ASAP.
fast forward 2 years and they have recently come out with a mini finger sander in m12 form however it runs around $250 at the moment and I believe its still cheaper to just convert the cutoff tools. I also believe the cutoff tools have a larger motor so its really a better way to go by just using the conversion kit.
That would also be good for some metal work. Love the concept and I have plenty of things that would work with. Only issue i have is I would have to buy both tools.
What's the power like on this thing? Cut off tool says 20k rpms does that convert directly to the belt? Cause most air belt Sanders are around 20k rpms so it'd be pretty comparable in power. We use belt Sanders for deburring at work what kind of run time could you get out of one of these?
Its nice to have but you would have to dedicate a tool. So now u have to have 2, 3in cut off tools, an $80 harbor freight air sanding strip tool...and $49.50 for this guy to tell you how to put it all together... Nea I'm good.
this is a awesome mod to the cut off tool. Once I get Milwaukee M12 I would love that! My friends wood like that because they use that sharpen their paint scrapers and are cary around this big sander that is corded, they also do trim so Perfect! Hit the like button!! Merry Christmas to The Whole Very Cool Gang!
Okay , Vinny what is the trade off from the 18 volt line up to the 12 volt line up , is Milwaukie have some kind of adapter so the batteries of the 18 can be used with the 12 volt tools ? or vise versa ?
in the first videos i watched i was thinking this guy is working for milwaukee from all the product he was showing off, then after watching more videos i do have to agree that they do make some great tools...too bad in eastern europe they are double the price...and we probably only get wat does not make inspection for US and west EU :))) "never pay full price for tools"! :))
Let’s see, no eye protection, no dust mask while sanding, use of modified tools not verified by an engineer...the safety people at my job would have a field day with you guys...lol. All kidding aside this is a fantastic idea and very useful. Wouldn’t be surprised if Milwaukee (or better yet Ryobi) made one next year.
I wonder how long until Milwaukee comes out with either a dedicated sander, or an easy attachment kit/set with the disc as well as this belt, and maybe even a few more attachments. I've used a belt sander in the auto body sector, and definitely could have used it in the trades arena.
Awesome idea, but expensive once you factor in all the extra parts needed. $130 tool, $50 adapter, $80 HF sander. Hopefully Milwaukee makes a dedicated tool like this.
Ryobi makes a dedicated tool for this, no need for a conversion. Look into The Ryobi PSD101 cordless belt sander, $79 ... Some reviews on RUclips you can check out.
The link for the adapter tool is incorrect in this video. It’s for a 3/8 not a half inch adapter. I am going back-and-forth with the eBay seller to correct the situation. Please make a note of this.

Just scored the most awesome deal at Lowes. Metabo Miter saw 36v cordless, clearanced out at $200 instead of $699 retail.. Ca-Ching!!
I see Milwaukee is finally doing their own one of these, at last!!!

I finally converted my. Good video and cool conversion.
I did this too love it. I used a harbor freight sander as a sacrifice mine was only $30
Milwaukee: why didn't we think of that?
Milwaukee: let's make one, tag it with milwaukee name and tag it at $200 with belt sander attachment.
The need a "real man's" belt sander.
Like the planer, which needs a fuel upgrade btw
I sent Milwaukee a request for this almost two years ago. They already make a corded version. They clearly have the capability.
@@slandon1977 I've also been speaking on this issue for well over a year.
They are listening.
Should be soon I feel.
@@slandon1977 They listen, but they're extremely busy. We're getting one of their manufacturing plants in our city pretty soon.

Milwaukee should make an m12 one. makita just released their 18v version. Btw the cut off tool needs a gen2, its gutless.

Works as advertised
I use air powered dynafiles at work all the time. I'd buy this so fast.
It's on eBay ready to buy.
Hola!
I want a kit!
Dang! Milwaukee is missing on making this tool.
That’s so freaking cool I’m going to order Me one thanks Vince
There is also a 3/8” x 13” conversion also
Ryobi has already released it in the UK I thought they already released it in the USA but that’s 2020
Ingersoll rand has a 12v band file for $175 tool only or $250 for the kit with 2 batteries...
Can you use the cut off tool without the guard on?
How about the rotary tool? Wouldn't it do the same thing just as well for less money?
Can you adjust the angle of the belt?
Okay , Vinny what is the trade off from the 18 volt line up to the 12 volt line up , is Milwaukie have some kind of adapter so the batteries of the 18 can be used with the 12 volt tools ? or vise versa ?
Let’s hope Milwaukee see this and make one 🤞
I did this to this tool when this tool came out did this exactly the same bought the baxter also @Vcgconstruction

Smart, I love this.
This would be great for metal work to
Is this the kit available on ebay UK?
That is fantastic.
Does the belt run in only one direction?
We use this all the time in the automotive industry .
I might check out that air sander by itself.
Ryobi makes one, Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless File Sander, way cheaper!
Have u heard anything about the M12 23ga pin nailer?
Where can I get that kit? Gracias
Coping with a flap disk on a grinder is the best way IMO

Where do I buy the adaptor pieces at?
damn you need a milwaukee heater bro looks cold in there LOL

You done know Milwaukee gonna jump on that idea.
You can do the same mod on the ridgid multimaterial cut off tool as well as ryobi's version
Where is your video on the MX Power Supply??????
Will this work on the Ridgid cut off tool?

Harbor freight sells a cheap electric bandsander for like $30 I wonder if that tool could be sacrificed and save $50
That was fkn awesome
My top 5 tool brand is 1 Milwaukee 2 dewalt 3 husky 4 rigid 5 kobalt
It would work sharpening lawnmower blades
Thats what I need ohh Wait I don't have the Milwaukee tool either haha
